‘Duck the Halls’ Christmas Album Debuts in Billboard Top 5
The Robertson family, stars of the No. 1 A&E reality TV show Duck Dynasty and collectively authors of four New York Times best-sellers, now have another accolade under their belts: a hit musical album. Duck the Halls: A Robertson Family Christmas, a Christmas album featuring the Duck Dynasty cast, debuted at No. 4 on the Nov. 16 edition of the Billboard 200 chart released Wednesday.
The album features old holiday favorites like “Rudolph, the Red-Nosed Reindeer” and “I’ll Be Home for Christmas,” as well as new songs penned by the Robertson clan, including “Ragin’ Cajun Redneck Christmas” and “Hairy Christmas”—a singalong ode to the men’s iconic beards.
While the Robertsons carry the bulk of the singing duties on the album, guest stars including George Strait, Alison Krauss and Luke Bryan also contribute their musical talents.
The Duck Dynasty family looks poised to remain on the public’s radar for some time to come. In addition to their best-selling books, top-rated TV show and hit Christmas album, the bayou-dwelling bearded millionaires will be featured alongside other celebrities at the 87th Annual Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade later this month.
